Blake Barnett is making it known that Oregon is his No. 1. He's also making it known that he sees a lot of himself in the Ducks' current No. 1.

Barnett, a four-star 2015 quarterback recruit from Southern California, recently confirmed in a video on Bleacher Report that he has strong interest in Oregon. He said the Ducks coaching staff is a big draw, but that he also feels he can handle Oregon's up-tempo offense like current Heisman candidate Marcus Mariota.

"What Marcus Mariota does is similar to what I can do," Barnett says in the video. "Not to compare myself to him, but I think we do similar things on the field and we run similar offenses."

Barnett had originally given a verbal commitment to Notre Dame, but recently changed his mind. In addition to recently visiting Oregon, Barnett is scheduled to make stops at Alabama, LSU and Georgia this week.
